Objects in mirror are closer than they appear
Just ask Elvis Scurvine. A brief joyride in a borrowed truck turns into a month-long rollercoaster with the woman he never wanted to meet. Her unorthodox views on health insurance, a failed jailbreak, a pair of Civil War reenactors, and a pharmaceutical experiment gone awry all add to the summer heat in the Crossroads of America.
“This is one wild ride which doesn’t slow down for the turns (or the PsychClones) or the sober confines of polite society. This is the romp his first book predicted; fun stuff!” – Ron Carlson, author of Five Skies
“Slightly off center, out of orbit, and very much down home, Hoosier Life & Casualty amplifies perfectly the strangeness at the crossroads of story, history, and Indiana.” – Michael Martone, author of Michael Martone
“Hoosier Life & Casualty mines the uptight, dysfunctional world of a wealthy Indianapolis family, and refines from that ore a rebel as sympathetic as Vonnegut’s Eliot Rosewater.” – James Alexander Thom, author of Saint Patrick’s Battalion
“I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining, imaginative, and very human book. It deserves a wide readership.” – Michael Z. Lewin, author of Oh Joe
We are pleased to announce that Hoosier Life & Casualty by Ian Woollen is now available through the Casperian Books website and booksellers everywhere. The first chapter can be read online here.
